A new one for me!!

02-09-2009, 07:56 AM

I had a call Saturday, a landlord call and asked how far I could clean out a main line, I said how long is it? She said about 100’ sure I can. She had stated that 2 others she called could only do 85’ LOL

Ok no on the basics of the story, I ran in my ¾ IC cable in about 15’ stuck as stuck can be. This is a duplex that is 8 months old. I had call the owner and told them the situation. She was pissed as pissed can be.

She called the plumber who did the new construction. Well after looking at the lay out we found out what the problem was.

The main is common between the duplex.

Main is 4” all tie ins are 3”.

The just of this story is the guy who plumed it in ran this half of the duplex in to the drain tile vent, “radon vent “so for 8 months all the waste was going in to the drain tile….

So to fix my end , could not retrieve the cable and cutter, so I cut it billed for 5 hours and my lost equipment. Even tried a high lift to try to pull it out…
